What are the responsibilities and job description for the Implementation Manager (Healthcare TPA) position at Concierge Third Party Administrator?
Concierge Third Party Administrator (CTPA) administers self-funded and Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) health plans for employers. Working alongside national benefit partners, we deliver payroll-integrated benefit programs and handle everything behind them: plan setup, enrollment, eligibility, claims and member support.
